Surprise! I accepted a position with an HOA (home owners association) management company. How in the world did this happen? Serving on the board of our HOA brought me into a working relationship with the president of the management company.

The company opened new division to handle HOA property inspections for escrow. And the property inspector position was offered to me. After considering it for a few days, I accepted. April 30th was my first day on the job and May 1st was my first day on the road inspecting and it was a long one. I drove from one end of the county to the other, inspecting properties.

My wonderful mom volunteered to come along and I happily agreed. She read the Google directions to me as I drove around areas I had never before visited. The only problem we encountered was when Google said to turn right when we ought to have gone straight. But we soon corrected our course and completed the mission.

I am very happy about the job and really hope I do it well and can continue in it. My blog is supposed to be about my adventures in trying to make a living as an artist. I am not sure how this change will effect my path...

About Me

In August of 2006 I sold my first painting on eBay and began painting more or less full time from that moment on. Then on March 29, 2007 I began documenting my journey into selling my art on line at my art blog I enjoy exploring different styles and media and the constant surprises each produces. And it has been quite a journey.
In September 2009 I started Artists Trading, where artists trade art to begin their own art collections.
